Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about bath resealing in Hook's Cross
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Hook's Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hook's Cross?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hook's Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
